The recent ruling against New York Attorney General Letitia James and her sham prosecution of Trump is a huge win for him, this is obvious.
Even so, it’s absolutely delicious to watch CNN’s legal analyst Elie Honig admit this on the air, as his colleagues look on glumly, acknowledging the fact that another one of the left’s attempts to go after Trump fails.
Honig was quite clear. He suggests that this is not even the end, and that Trump is likely to get another win in this case when it goes to the court of appeals in New York state.
The Daily Caller has details:
CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said on Thursday that an appeals court’s “monumental” ruling against Democrat Attorney General of New York Letitia James is a “huge win” for President Donald Trump…
“I’m not [surprised]. I have been skeptical of the attorney general’s case for a long time. I’m on record saying that. This is a huge win for Donald Trump any way you cut it and this is a stinging rebuke to the attorney general, Letitia James,” Honig said.
“The finding here, it’s a very long and complicated ruling, but the bottom line is while the finding of liability against Donald Trump can stand for now, at least, the damages award which started at $315 million with interest, gets up close to $500 million; that is thrown out,” Honig explained. “And the core reason, according to the judges, is essentially that there was not enough of a showing here that there were actual victims.”
Honig explained that the so-called “victims” in this scenario are billion-dollar banks who received loan payments and “actually profited” from Trump “to the tune of millions of dollars.”
